Description/Abstract

Europe’s digital cultural heritage content has tremendous exploitation potential in applications such as Education, Publishing, e-Commerce, Public-Access and Tourism. Value is hugely amplified if the content can be aggregated repurposed and distributed at a European level. The eCHASE project seeks to demonstrate that public-private partnerships between content holders and commercial service providers can create new services and a sustainable business based on access and exploitation of digital cultural heritage content. This paper describes the eCHASE demonstrator from a technical perspective, briefly detailing the tools and components which make up the system and the use of open standards.
